DPTP – What’s the magic number? The identification, characterisation, and validation of File Formats
A new course has been announced by The Digital Preservation Training Programme (DPTP), now working under the name CoSector – University of London. This course is a detailed examination of some of the operations that are likely to take place in a standard Ingest routine. As such, the course is part of a projected series of learning offerings that, taken together, will help attendees understand the process of Archival Information Package (AIP) assembly. Since these processes can often be automated in a preservation system, it is useful to see them at work and expose their mechanisms, to better understand the operations and their consequences.
